Hisense C2 Ultra, new Trichroma Ultra HD 4K video projector

End of our discovery of the new series of video projectors from the Chinese manufacturer with, after the Hisense C2 and Hisense C2 Pro, the Hisence C2 Ultra, also presented at the IFA 2024 show in Berlin which closed its doors yesterday.

The Hisense C2 Ultra also provides 3D management. And the addition of an adjustable foot still allows the projector to be rotated 360° and easily tilted forward or backward at a very pronounced angle. A function that significantly improves its ergonomics by facilitating its integration into any interior. Exclusive to the Hisense C2 Ultra, the foot integrates a subwoofer for a more robust sound. Of course, keystone correction and autofocus are still present.

Hisense C2 Ultra, embedded TriChroma technology££££

Elder of the C2 siblings, the Hisense C2 Ultra model is also structured using TriChroma technology ([abc]RGB[/abc] laser), like the Hisense C2 and Hisense C2 Pro, for 110% coverage of the Rec.2020 gamut, which more or less corresponds to human visual perception. This projector has a variable projection ratio of 0.9 to 1.5:1 (optical zoom). In addition, it benefits from advanced image processing, optimized by [abc]artificial intelligence[/abc] algorithms, as well as an integrated 3DLut (three-dimensional Look-Up Table), allowing precise color management.

Hisense C2 Ultra TriChroma, main specifications££££

The Hisense C2 Ultra features MEMC (Motion Estimation/Motion Compensation) motion compensation that enhances the fluidity of moving images and [abc]HDR Dolby Vision[/abc], [abc]HDR10[/abc], [abc]HDR10[/abc]+ and [abc]HDR HLG[/abc] compatibility. Brightness increases to 3,000 lumens for a native contrast of 2,000:1. The Hisense C2 Ultra projector also includes a Filmmaker mode, designed to reproduce films as they were originally intended by their directors. [abc]Imax Enhanced[/abc] certification is also on the program.

For the rest, the Hisense C2 Ultra TriChroma integrates a [abc]DLP[/abc] TI 0.47'' (1.19 cm) chip with a response time of 32 µs and a resolution of 2,048 x 1,200 pixels, a section of which of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels is used to generate an Ultra HD 4K image through the XPR4 process (wobulation) signed by Texas Instrument. As a reminder, the latter uses the hyper-high switching speed of the mirrors via specific video processing to create 8 million pixels for each displayed image (a real pixel ultimately gives four pixels). Precision, the Input Lag is announced reduced (without further details) and the maximum display frequency reaches 240 Hz in [abc]1 080p[/abc], 60 Hz in [abc]2 160p[/abc].

Hisense C2 Ultra TriChroma, connectivity, connectivity, Smart TV and sound section££££

On the connectivity side, there are two [abc]HDMI[/abc] 2.1 inputs (with [abc]eARC[/abc] management), an [abc]optical[/abc] output, two [abc]USB[/abc] 3.0 ports and an [abc]Ethernet[/abc] port. The equipment also mentions the [abc]Wi-Fi[/abc] and [abc]Bluetooth[/abc] functions. As expected, the sound section of the Hisense C2 Ultra is signed JBL.

On the menu again, the Smart TV Vidaa function, a platform signed by Hisense associated with a particularly fast Quad Core processor, the Mediatek MT9669 (4 GB of RAM + 64 GB of flash memory). In terms of voice control, in addition to the Vidaa assistant, Alexa and Google Assistant are available. Last detail, the foot is made of metal (compared to plastic on the C2).

Availability expected for the month of October. Indicative prices: 3,290 euros.
